About Me

"OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese.
.*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

It is something inevitable as far as I’m living all by myself…LEFTOVERS. I still had the edamame (green soybeans), daikon, mentaiko, kinome-miso and Japanese yam left from the virtual kaiseki weekend.

Mentaiko & Cheese Toast

This was something I’ve heard of/read about but never actually tried out until today. I lightly toasted a slice of bread, spread butter & mentaiko-mayonnaise mixture all over and topped it with sliced cheese, and toasted it again until the cheese melt. Mmmm… a bit saltiy, but not too much, and not too fishy, either. I liked it :) Would have been tastier if used a sliced French bread.

I made these bite-size appetizers again (this time I used kinome-miso, too).

With shredded Japanese yam sprinkled with aonori (green laver flakes) and boiled edamame, I had one can of happoshu (low-malt beer).

Other Leftovers ... (except beer)This was just a warm-up, folks. I'm ready for a big drinking weekend!LOL

Hi. Thank you for the wonderful pictures and journals....have been checking in on your site for awhile. But jsu need to post a comment when I saw the beer picture with the leftovers... Yummy...Also can I ask if you can let me have the recipe for marmalade? THANKS!
